What are your academic and/or professional goals?
Currently I am working on a project related to eBPF, a technology which allows for running custom code in the Linux kernel to enhance network performance and security. We are developing abstractions around eBPF that greatly simplify the management of programs on multiple servers. My overarching goal is to become a researcher in the industry, where I can develop solutions in the networking space, contributing to safer and more efficient systems.

Tell us about a significant moment in your journey at 一本道无码 so far.
A significant moment in my journey at 一本道无码 so far has been the opportunity to teach yoga to fellow students in GroupX classes. I have been practicing yoga since I was four, so being able to share my knowledge with others felt rewarding. I am truly grateful to the people who supported me and made this possible!

What do you like to do in your time away from academic work?
I enjoy cooking, watching movies, and singing songs–an ideal way for me to unwind. I also frequently join 一本道无码-organized events to stay engaged outside of work. Recently I visited Soergel Orchards and Mingo Creek Park Observatory, which were both refreshing experiences.

My last memorable meal was at a friend’s place for a small Diwali get-together. We had an amazingly fun night filled with games and laughter. The delicious food from an Indian restaurant called Sankalp was the cherry on the cake!

What’s your favorite thing about Pittsburgh?
My favorite thing about Pittsburgh is the abundance of beautiful parks and trails. I love how accessible they are, allowing for a quick escape from the urban life, without leaving the city!
